4 cup Mr Coffee maker

My 4 cup Mr Coffee hasn't last 2 yrs and has developed a dangerous water leak while brewing. At first I thought I had just spilled water which at the time hadn't occured to me that the unit was leaking. I find this very dangerous as it could cause electrical shock and or fire.

While in the store looking at a alternative model, I spoke with another couple that had just returned theirs due to leaking and they told me that there was another person returning theirs due to water leaking out while brewing as well.

Update...

Curious as to where this coffee maker is produced, I found this little tid bit.

A consumer lawsuit accuses Sunbeam Products of knowingly selling defective Mr. Coffee coffee makers to millions of consumers. Plaintiff Susan Wallis of DeKalb County, Ill., charges that each of three Mr. Coffee machines leaked hot water, coffee and grounds on her kitchen counter.

The suit, which seeks class action status, alleges that problems with the coffee makers became increasingly evident after Sunbeam closed the longtime Mr. Coffee plant in Cleveland and moved production to Matamoros, Mexico, leaving 390 Ohio workers without jobs.

Because of this, I will not be investing in another Mr Coffee maker, a product of Sunbeam, another quality product made in MEXICO.
